Arc'teryx Granville Zip 16 Pack vs GoRuck GR1

My main issue is despite the description/advertising, it is very much not water resistant. The zips have frequently leaked water onto my laptop when carrying in moderate-heavy rain. Not a huge lack, but definitely some drops are getting through and that's not good for a laptop. They call the zips "watertight" and they look the part, but it has not been good for me

This backpack by Osprey is very well made but keep in mind this is a laptop backpack. It’s not going to take a lot and I am quite disappointed with the size. It’s long but thin. Zipper doesn’t go all around because of the bottle pocket will not allow for this

There is this nifty little zipper on the inside that allows access to the front side-zip compartment form the main compartment (zipper shown in the laptop detail picture). Speaking about the side zip, it provides easy access on the go by just swinging one side of the strap off your shoulder and around your body. Super convenient. The bag also has a small loop on the front face for a bike light or anything you can hook onto it

Water resistant material, great ergonomics and spaces/pockets inside. Feels good on the back too. Best money I've ever spent on a bag.

Well made, great quality however the shoulder straps are too thin and the material they’re made of is a bit slippery so if you have it over one shoulder it’s consistently slipping off and needs adjustment. The back of the bag could do with some padding and the shape is a bit odd. Weirdly top heavy looking. And the grab handle on the top is a bit thin

I imagine the carabiner on the right shoulder strap could come in handy to secure it to a chair or stroller when out in public and not wearing it on my back.

As you can tell, there's a slight curve in the back which fits me quite nicely. These straps are padded, but looks very, very thin, but it's extremely...

It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded. • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine. In summary, I love the color and comfort

Unfortunately, the laptop sleeve on this bag is incredibly small and doesn't come close to fitting my 15" Surface Book 2.

And then they went to a naming convention where the Gr1 now has two sizes, the 21 liter and the 26 liters. So so what I'm gonna cover today for the Gr...
